Storage Management Component
Storage Management Component (SMC) is the interface between mainframe
operating systems and the StorageTek automated library control systems,
such as HSC and MVS/CSC. SMC’s primary functions are:
•
Influencing tape allocation according to hardware requirements and
customer policies to ensure that appropriate tape drives are selected.
•
Intercepting tape management, and operating system mount, dismount,
and swap messages. Translating them in order to request the required
tape hardware functions from the appropriate library control system.
•
Coordinating requests among multiple StorageTek automated libraries.
Note:
SMC must reside on every MVS host that accesses the SL8500 library
plus real and virtual tape hardware.
Host Software Component
When an SL8500 library is in a configuration with an MVS host, the host must
run a version of the StorageTek Host Software Component (HSC) along with
the Storage Management Component (SMC) to:
•
Influence allocations
•
Intercept mount and dismount messages
•
Receive requests from the interface and translates them into commands
Minimum Level of Support:
HSC 6.0
with additional PTFs
4
or higher is required for the SL8500 library.
However, new tape drive technologies may require higher levels.
HSC 6.1 and Near Continuous Operation
HSC 6.1 added support for the SL8500 libraries called Near Continuous
Operation (NCO). NCO provides users with the ability to modify their hardware
configuration dynamically without terminating and restarting HSC.
It is possible to upgrade the SL8500 configuration without performing a
LIBGEN, MERGEcds, or stopping and restarting HSC. However, this
operation requires assistance from StorageTek. Refer to the Host Software
Component Configuration Guide (such as PN 31259710) for more information.

PTF is a Program Temporary Fix.
